[open] we sit and grow our roots into the floor

WHO: Cade and his many friends and admirers
WHAT: a dumb sulky baby got hurt at the Winter Palace because he was dumb and now he is sulking about it
WHEN: post-Halamshiral, simultaneous with red lyrium plot hell
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Injury stuff, nothing ridiculous



The Healing Tents

For the umpteenth time in the span of two years, Cade is under supervision. But this time it's not because he was violent-- well... it was, but indirectly-- it's because he got a couple spikes of red lyrium through the thigh after flipping out and battling Red Templars completely unarmored in the Winter Palace.
He ingested red lyrium once before, and from what anyone can tell it caused him to smack an elf. This is a lot more of the stuff, and Cade is notoriously unstable, so he's being watched to make sure it doesn't alter his personality.

He's the first to reassure the healers that lyrium doesn't work like that, you have to take it daily and it slowly builds up in you and so forth, but, you know, caution is caution. He respects it. But he hates being fussed over, so periodically he'll sneak off a small ways just to have a bit of solitude.


Near the Healing Tents, Being a Renegade

Usually this means sitting up on the ramparts and watching people, reading, anything that gets him a little peace and quiet. For someone who seems to thrive on being told what to do, no one can tell Cade what to do and he will be stubborn for as long as it takes for him to be deemed Safe again.

This is pointless.

All a dwarf does is come in here to help and this is the thanks he gets? He is so attacked right now, this is terrible, who do you think is still involved in keeping the good pure blue lyrium supply running? Him. Not him specifically but he could be called upon! At a moment's notice.

"Because this is one of my many children and he is a brave and courageous beast. Not afraid of anything, not even Orlesians firing crossbows at me or bears or whatever came out of that bog we went past that I might have dreamt up. It was a long journey." Actual facts: Yngvi does not know if this is a boy nug or a girl nug, who wants to actually attempt to accurately sex a nug can you imagine the horrors? "He's also the most calm, better than other things, how can you not like nugs? He plays cards and everything, dogs can't play cards."

"Your children are nugs," Cade observes, his unhappiness growing. "...they don't have any fur. It's like touching a person." And let's face it, there is absolutely nothing more repulsive than touching another person.
